Senor Mex Says: Although the overall gist of the article is thoughtful and informative, it contains one glaring factual error that cannot be overlooked. Specifically, it states that Mexico Insurance coverage is required by law; that is not the case. If you were to look through the law books in Mexico, you would not see a single point about such coverage being required. Rather, Mexico Insurance is highly recommended, since financial responsibility is implied. In other words, you have to be able to show that you can handle your end of the financial situation if you are involved in an accident. Mexico Insurance is quickest, easiest and most effective way to do that. Telling the reader that he has to buy a policy as a matter of law is disingenuous. Providing factually correct information is important, and the point about importance can be made without resorting to untrue generalizations.

“Mexican law requires that all motorists have the proper insurance coverage, and Baja insurance can protect you in this way. Mexico’s laws dictate that you must have proof of responsibility by buying Baja Mexico insurance, so if a collision occurs you are protected regardless of whether you were at fault or not.”
